NER LED Cloudy Day Illuminators

	NERLITE^™
Cloudy Day™ Illuminator

Precision Continuous Diffuse Illuminator®

For the Most Difficult Applications
The CDI is as close to "perfect" as a diffuse light source can be made, a true "Cloudy Day in a Box." The CDI combines patented optics with precision integrating sphere technology to yield a self-contained continuous diffuse lighting environment unrivaled in the world of illumination technology.


Wrinkled foil with ring light	Wrinkled foil with CDI
The CDI is designed for those critical applications involving highly specular surfaces where any reflections of camera aperture or "seams" in the lighting envelope will cause a vision system to see defects where none exist. Examples of such applications include compact disk artwork verification and the inspection of solder patterns on circuit boards. The NERLITE CDI allows products to be inspected "in the package"--even blister-packaged pharmaceutical products and computer chips in the tube.
